M/S Kristina Brahe is a former military vessel, built in Chicago, IL. in 1943. M/S Kristina Brahe has 45 cabins, 5 different cabin classes, on four decks. According to the official Kristina Cruises website:

Kristina Brahe is known to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean once during the war under the flag of USA. The vessel was called HMS Kilchernan when she served under the Union Jack as a submarine destroyer at the western coast of Africa and the Gibraltar area.

In 1948 the ship was sold to Norway and rebuilt to become a passenger ferry. Named Sunnhordland, the vessel operated as a mail steamer between Bergen and Stavanger up to the year 1973. At that time the vessel’s capacity was 600 passengers and 13 cars.

The ship was sold to Finland in 1971 and was named Kristina Brahe after Ristiina, the vessel’s that time home port. The ship was turned into a cruise vessel by building more cabins and restaurant facilities.

Kristina Brahe’s maiden voyage took place on 15th May, 1975. At first the ship cruised mainly on Lake Saimaa making two- to five-day cruises. In the following years the cruising area was expanded, first to Vyborg and to the Gulf of Finland. In 1982 Kristina Brahe made the first cruise across the Gulf of Finland from Helsinki to Tallinn and in the next year to Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg.

In 1985 Rannikkolinjat Ltd. bought the shipping company who owned Kristina Brahe and Kotka became the vessel’s new home port. More cabins were built and the restaurant improved. At the same time more cruises were made abroad.

Today, Kristina Brahe cruises “The Czars Route,” which takes her to Lake Saimaa, the Saimaa Canal, Gulf of Finland, and the Archipelago Sea.

M/S Kristina Regina was a traditional passenger ship originally built in Oskarsham in 1960. The ship received upgrades in 2001 including refurbished cabins and public spaces, the addition of a health center and laundry, and a new computer system. Guests had the option to relax in the comforts of the panorama café , the ships “living room” or take in the sights from a restaurant or scenic deck. M/S Kristina Regina’s last cruise was August 23, 2010. she is now used as a museum, hotel, and restaurant ship in Turku.

If you would like to reserve a Kristina Cruise, please call Kristina Cruises directly at +358 5 211 4230. You can also fax your request to +358 5 211 4500, or e-mail: info@kristinacruises.com.

You can also contact your local cruise travel specialist to help you plan the your vacation

The typical western Mediterranean cruises features stops in Spain, France, Italy, Tunisia, and Sicily. The ports of call vary greatly, but Barcelona is one of the top stops in Spain. In Barcelona, there are hundreds of sights to see, but travel professionals and cruise critics say a Barcelona highlights tour that features the Gothic Quarter, Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia Church, and various urban vistas is a must for first-timers.

According to Cruisecritics.com, Western Mediterranean cruises are no longer limited to spring, summer and fall. Cruise lines such as Costa and MSC currently offer year-round voyages in the region. Barcelona and Marseilles still remain on many itineraries, “but some ships move further south, to Morocco and the Canary Islands, during the cooler months,” according to cruise critics.

If you are interested in saving money, try booking in early spring or late fall. During this time, rates are competitive and crowds are thin. If you are sailing with a family, try mid-June to mid-August. The prices will be higher during this time, but activities for kids are plentiful during these times.

Jobs on yachts or sailing ships are not as plentiful as jobs on larger ships. The crews are smaller and they typically do not hire entertainers, large numbers of cocktail servers or bar staff, or large numbers of retail personnel. This means competition is fierce for jobs on yachts and sailing ships, but if you have what it takes to compete, you have a good chance of landing one of these coveted positions. Potential captains, chefs, and crewmembers should begin the employment process by either signing with a placement agency or contacting the yacht or sailing ship directly.

To contact the yacht or sailing ship directly, visit the cruise ships/line website. You can locate the OFFICIAL website by visiting Ships and Cruises Directory. Once you have located several sailing ships or yachts you would like to work for, visit the website and search around for job postings. Most cruise line websites have a career center or job postings page.

If the cruise line lists job openings, remember to follow the application procedure to the letter. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines’ Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager.

To sign up with a placement agency, you should begin by identifying the top agencies in the industry. Next, you should submit your resume, references, and any certifications or designations you may have. The placement agency will call you in for an interview to assess your background, skills, and needs and match them to positions they may have available or positions they will seek out.

The following list includes top agencies in the field and contact information. Good luck!

So to get started with looking for jobs on European cruise lines OR cruise lines that feature European itineraries, visit the cruise lines’ official website first. You may locate the cruise lines’ OFFICIAL website by visiting the Ships and Cruises Directory for official listings. Once you have located the website – whether it’s MSC or Norwegian, visit the OFFICIAL website and search around for job postings. Most cruise line websites have a career center or job postings page.

If the cruise line lists job openings, search for a position that matches your skill set. This is very important. Top cruise lines only hire the best, so don’t waste your time or theirs by applying for a cruise director position if your skill set is better suited to a deckhand position (see departments and jobs at the end of this article). Next, follow the application procedure to the letter. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines’ Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager.

For more information about jobs on cruise ships visit Cruise Ship Jobs online. Here, you can download the 2010 cruise ship employment guide (it is totally up to you if you want to pay for it); you can read through cruise line profiles (for free); you can find out which ships are hiring and for what positions (for free) — and you can apply for a cruise ship job right online (for a fee, not recommended).

Types of Jobs on European Cruise Lines

Jobs on cruise ships will fall under several categories: Activity/Entertainment Department, Deck & Engineering Department, Service & Hospitality Department, Personal Care Department and Office Positions.

Jobs on cruise ships in the Activity/Entertainment Department are considered some of the most glamorous jobs aboard the ship. These positions deal with anything relating to passenger entertainment. This department includes: DJs, Production Managers, Photographers, Managers, Casino Staff, Host/Hostess and Cruise Consultant, to name a few. Those best suited for jobs in this department are typically enthusiastic and extroverted.

The Deck & Engineering Department is one of the most important departments on the vessel –without it the ship would never set sail. This department is responsible for maintaining and running the vessel. Please note that the positions in this department are not typically entry-level positions, especially on large ships. The department consists of deckhands, maintenance workers, engineers, and officers. These positions help to motor or sail the ship, attend to the physical maintenance needs of the ship, and keep it in accordance with fleet regulations and international maritime laws. Officers are in charge of passenger safety as well.

Staff members in the Service/Hospitality Department or Hotel Management Department have the responsibility of managing the bars & restaurants and passenger cabins, as well as shipboard retail concessions like gift shops. Just a few Service/Hospitality positions include: Hotel Manager, Cabin Stewards/Stewardesses, Accountant, Executive Chef, Wine Steward, Chief Purser, Purser Staff, Chief Purser, Bellman, Pastry Chef and the list goes on and on. Most service positions such as bartenders, waiters and cocktail servers can earn a good amount of extra money from tips.

No cruise would be complete without a department devoted to helping passengers pamper themselves. The Personal Care Department includes spa, fitness, beauty and medical services. It helps manage hair stylists, manicurists, massage therapists, fitness instructors, beauty therapists, spa attendants, nurses and physicians all dedicated to the well-being of passengers.

Most office positions are onshore — employees typically work in the main office performing administrative tasks, arranging cruises or performing general office tasks. Office positions generally fall under the following categories: Accounting, Administrative/Clerical, Air Operations, Marketing/PR and Reservations/Sales.

A gentleman host is not your average Joe. Gentleman hosts are typically well educated, healthy and fit, and they are usually well versed in dances such as the waltz, the fox trot, ballroom, and other formal dances. Gentleman hosts are also good conversationalists, they enjoy a variety of different social engagements, and they are well groomed and attractive. The majority of gentleman hosts are between the ages of 40-70 and retired or semi-retired from retired law, business, travel, finance, medicine, military and education industries. Gentleman hosts must be single, widowed or divorced.

In addition to free travel, gentleman hosts receive free accommodations, meals, and a small stipend. Gentlemen hosts must have their own attire and grooming supplies. Gentleman hosts will also carry their own health insurance and they must also pay for any extras such as excursions and gambling.

Now that you know all about what it takes to be a gentleman host, the next question is, how do I become a gentleman host on luxury cruise ships? For starters, you should sign up with an agency. One of the top agencies for gentleman hosts is The Working Vacation Inc. The Working Vacation Inc. is a consulting placement agency that places gentleman hosts, presenters, speakers, and lectures on cruise ships. Please visit the official The Working Vacation website to get started at www.theworkingvacation.com. If you prefer to contact the cruise line of your choice directly, visit the Ships and Cruises Directory to locate the web address. Once you have located the web address, follow the steps below to ensure a smooth process.

If the cruise line lists job openings, follow the application procedure to the letter. Applicants that do not follow directions are typically passed over in favor of those that do. If the cruise line does not list job openings on its site, send a polished cover letter and resume to the cruise lines Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department is typically located at the cruise lines headquarters. This information is usually listed on the cruise line website. It is important to include the position you are interested in so that it can be directed to the appropriate department manager. After a week or two, feel free to make a follow-up call to inquire about your application. It is important to be brief and polite. Remember, you never get a second chance to make first impression!
